Doesn't necessarily rule him out I think, could work his way up to bigger minutes and there always seems to be an injury to the backline every second week. How often did Kurt Mann end up in the backline? Excellent byes too.

Think it’s enough to rule out starting with him but may be a buy later

Some interesting quotes on Raiders in Canberra Times
Fogarty recent hamstring strain
Will use both trials as audition for positions where players are fighting for role and not play meaningless 1st trial. Stewart, Savage, Hopoate and Rapana training FB, Weekes and Strange training 5/8

That would imply that Kris has the left centre spot locked down, which makes him a genuine option for only 395k. That price is a 29 average and he averaged 39.5 at centre in 2022 (played a single game there in 2023 where he scored 55 in 51 mins)

Kris would definitely have value back at CTR but I don’t think it’s as much as 2022. He had 13 tries for 0.9 tryscoring rate in 2022. Probably mid 30s given Raiders might struggle this year

Having started with HSS last year, I'd quite happily pay an extra $150k for a Canberra centre that averages 35, rather than the 10? I got last year (I know it was more, but it felt like ten)

I'd go Berry, Reimis or Arthars before Kris. Slightly cheaper, and much better teams.

I'm very fond of the Faders, but reckon the Fadering will start even early this year than usual. Poor spine, some ageing starters and some deeply unproven young kids.

Everyone here has missed an epic cash cow.  Well I have not seem then mentioned in any case

Eels junior coming through the ranks - big raps apparently

epic cash cow:

Just my personal opinion but I think the Knights are sick of having Brailey on the sidelines.
I’m banking on a shared role between him and Crossland.
Crossland proved he’s no slouch.
Brailey has proved he can’t handle a season playing 80.
Why wouldn’t you?

Bostock apparently in line for a wing spot, breakeven is 22. Worth a shout?

His 3 previous starts on the wing resulted in scores of 15, 11 and 47.

In QCup he averaged a more respectable 31.5 in 6 starts on the wing (3 tries and 7 goals over those games)

There'd be worse picks out there but he doesn't scream "must have"

I remember Null null frustratingly either passing or running decoys if that's the (left) edge we are talking about. Herbie or Avo would likely set him up better than Aitken also. Do we know which side the centres are training at?

From memory Avo was on the right at the dogs, herbie on the left. If they roll that way, I think he’s quite tempting with Herbie inside him, Bostock that is.

Depends which side Herbie lines up. Because you know Herbie ain't passing.

Herbie wanted to play right at the Broncos but Staggs had it locked down. Not sure if he still had a preference considering his stand out season/s at left.

Apparently they're going to put Herbie on the right and Avo on the left, which if true makes Bostock a semi-decent pick and makes Isaako a huge trap.
